Epic Default Productions

Happy April Fools Day everybody! (First person who says that I’m late with that, dies!)

So in planning the layout of this feature, I completely neglected to look ahead and see what specific days fell on a Thursday. So this weeks installment will be full of pieces that are completely untrue. However, you might have missed some of these items that day, so really, it works out in the end!

Note to self: set up wave with staff in order to compile weekly news pieces

I pity the fool

It’s amazing what happens when you “leave a website.”  Ideas start flowing left and right.  Epic News is going to be a weekly segment in which we review ten news stories from the previous week in the world of geeky culture,  and then provide you with our own peanut gallery comments.  So, if you’re brave enough, click on the jump to see what’s in store for you.

Shut up woman, get on my horse!

In our effort to completely blend in with the gaming/geek blog scene, Epic Default Productions is pleased to announce the Epic Default Ten. These prestigious awards have been dolefully mulled over by our staff, and are accompanied with pleasant pats on the backs. Hopefully they will quickly become the most sought after awards in the blogosphere.

The EDP staff has been given a challenge, to come up with ten different awards for various geeky things this year. Over the next month to send this year packing with a good kick in the pants, they will individually present them on this blog.

You can find mine after the jump.

(-and the winners are…-)

On this long delayed episode (my fault, although I did figure out a lot of corners to cut in order to cut down on editing time, so the next ones should come out with…lets say less space between them), we continue where we left off in episode 5. Like the IRC channel that is is named after, it slips into a discussion about porn pretty quickly. If you are easily offended, or don’t like hearing people laughing at stuff that you can’t see (unless your google-fu is strong), you may want to skip this one.

You can download the episode here, and subscribe to our feed on Itunes, or with your favorite feed reader.

Also, help us get our name out there and leave comments on the Itunes feed, digg us, comment here, or send us an email at epicdefault@gmail.com.

After a month off (to you that is, I spent most of it trying to edit this as best I could), The Epic Default Podcast makes it’s triumphant return to the airwaves with a new member to the team as well as a couple of friends we met at PAX. And, just like the IRC chat this episode is named after, it spirals down to porn…on multiple occasions. We split this up into two episodes because we just can’t seem to stay on track with what we are talking about, and dammit, we like it that way. Cuzza’s track sounds weird because it was taken off of the Skype recording which was very laggy at the time of recording. Music Theme: the music of 8bitcollective.com
